The SEC’s Regulation Best Interest Preserves the Commissions-Based Business Model

The Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) today voted to finalize Regulation Best Interest, which significantly enhances the standard of care that broker-dealers and their registered representatives owe their clients. NAIFA’s advocacy team and leadership were fully engaged on the issue, meeting several times with SEC commissioners and submitting comment letters to educate the SEC on how NAIFA members serve consumers and to suggest how a best interest standard could preserve those relationships.

“The new best interest standard addresses perceived shortcomings in consumer protection without placing undue barriers between insurance and financial professionals and their clients,” said NAIFA CEO Kevin Mayeux. “The higher standard of care preserves the ability of Main Street investors to receive needed products, services, and advice by not favoring one business model over another. It allows them to choose financial professionals who best fulfill their needs and to compensate those professionals in a way that works best for them, whether through commissions or fees.”
